When a user accesses a seller webpage for an item for which expedited shipping is available, data regarding this access is provided to a separate fulfillment service that is able to deliver the item. A control on the webpage, that may be provided to the seller by the fulfillment service, presents an initial estimated delivery time based on the network address of the user's device and a known location of the item. The user may provide input to the control to access a user account, and a location for the user account may be used to update the estimated delivery time. If the item is purchased, the fulfillment service may determine payment information for the user account and process payment and delivery of the item. If an additional item not fulfilled by the fulfillment service is also purchased, data for this purchase is provided to the seller website for processing.

Systems for determining purchase fulfillment options

A seller provides customers with the ability to order items using shipping benefits associated with a separate fulfillment entity, such as an online store, by providing inventory to a designated fulfilment location. When a customer accesses the webpage, identifiers for the customer device and item are used to determine an estimated delivery time the separate fulfillment entity may provide, which may be presented in a widget or other type of element within the webpage. In response to input to the element, the customer may be presented with a prompt for authentication data, and after a successful authentication, the estimated delivery time may be updated based on a location of the authenticated customer. In response to input confirming the transaction, an order for the item is generated by the separate fulfillment entity and the customer may continue navigating the seller website.

The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. A quantity of extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature is determined based at least in part on viewing history of a user. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display.

Unobtrusively enhancing video content with extrinsic data

The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. It is determined whether to present extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature based at least in part on appearance control metadata. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display in response to determining to present the extrinsic data.

A cover may be used in conjunction with a handheld device for physical protection of the handheld device. The cover may have an indicator that is responsive to a signal provided by the handheld device to display different colors or other visual states depending on conditions of the handheld device such as security modes, user modes, and so forth.

Communications from digital content consumers may be entered on reader devices as social media posts. Rather than specifying a particular recipient, a consumer may enter a reserved keyword, such as @author, as the recipient. Upon submission, this keyword is automatically replaced with the recipient identifier, such as with the user identifier of the actual author of the currently rendered content item.

Author interactions using online social networks

Described are methods and systems of providing an augmented experience on a user device to facilitate user interaction with one or more virtual items. An augmented image comprising an actual object and a virtual item is generated and presented in a user interface. The user interface allows the user to lock a relative position of the virtual item as presented, such that the user may appear to 'move' the virtual item. The user interface may also provide sizing information of the virtual item relative item to the actual object.
